I am CPR/AED/First Aid certified & UTD on all vaccines. I am highly adept at working with multiple charges including twins. I have experience as a night nanny, offering parental support. I love incorporating age appropriate crafts, educational activities, science projects, outdoor adventures & physical fitness daily to create a well rounded nurturing environment where my charges can healthily & happily flourish!

Please feel free to message me for a detailed history on my work experience or inquiries on how to book your next date night with me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Shy is an extremely professional nanny. She was great with our child, always very warm, and full of ideas to make for enriching days.

Shy helped us for around 3 months before moving out of state, and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!

Shy was amazing with our newborn. She is extremely professional and experienced. I trusted her completely with our son and will definitely be reaching out for additional care in the future.

In every respect, Sheyenne is a true professional. She's been our night nanny for the first 3 months with our newborn, until his patterns became predictable and manageable. She was an excellent and attentive caregiver, dependable and punctual, thoughtful, and generally so easy to work with. I hope we get to to work with her again as our kids get older.

Shy has been babysitting our one-year-old for date nights since he was about 6 months old. Recently, we went on our first overnight trip and we trusted her to babysit him for an entire weekend and it was a great experience. Shy is the definition of professional. She is on time, follows our instructions, communicates excellently. She also understands child development and incorporates that into play time. I strongly recommend working with Shy! 

Shy is a true professional. Knowledgeable of all developmental stages and really in tune with kids needs and the why behind their behaviors. She is calm, positive, and a mother herself, which allows her to relate to you as a parent. She came in and on day 1 helped support our family as we relocated to Austin. We have had to move a few times, and she’s been flexible as we adjust to new commutes, work schedules, travel, etc. With all the changes in our move, we wanted our daughter to have stability in us and her care during the day. Shy gave her that and we are so grateful. When booking Shy for a one off date night or full/part time care you get more than just excellent childcare, you have an expert in her field of work and this gave us so much peace as first time parents. We are forever grateful we found her! We are transiting our daughter to daycare and will continue to work with Shy for date nights and hope to bring her back if we’re able to have another child. From a nervous new mom, I assure you, you can’t go wrong! 

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Sheyenne. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for our family. Sheyenne has been with us for 6 months (and counting), and she has exceeded our expectations in every way possible. She uses positive statements to encourage wanted behavior. My daughter loves her so much that she would wait by the window for Shy Shy to come. When my daughter have tantrums, Sheyenne can effectively divert her attention and teach her how to regulate her emotions. Sheyenne is also exceptional at teaching and encouraging kids to talk and communicate. Her loving, fun, and kind personality is just amazing. Sheyenne is a professional educator that every parent will be lucky to have. 

To whom it may concern,
   We are the parents of a special needs young adult who has seizures.  We have been very fortunate to have had Sheyenne as one of our regular sitters.  Sheyenne is talented, organized, caring and fun.   She is an asset to any family‘s caregiving team.
Our daughter is autistic, non verbal, and is still developing her fine motor skills.  Sheyenne always arrives promptly, and asks thoughtful questions.  She maintains communication during her time with our daughter, letting us know how her  schedule has developed and always checking in with us when she sees a different behavior  or a seizure .   Sheyenne’s experience and her communication style are exceptional.   In addition to managing her caregiving responsibilities, Sheyenne is also great fun for our daughter.  After a couple of evenings of music and games, our daughter began to greet Sheyenne with one of her rare autistic smiles.
We highly recommend Sheyenne. 

Sheyenne has a kind and energetic personality; a comprehensive background in professional childcare; has a proactive approach to her responsibilities; and abundant practical knowledge on sources and methods.  Sheyenne was always extremely appropriate and respectful.  Sheyenne never came across a social situation that she didn't know how to handle when it involved multiple parents or children.  Sheyenne's evidence-based and quasi-Montessori-based care styled curriculum has undeniably made a positive permanent impact on my child's physical and mental development that stands out compared to other kids her age.  Our loss is truly your gain.  Without a doubt, Sheyenne is the best candidate one could be looking for as a Nanny.  She will be the best decision you will have made for a long time to come.

Stop and just hire Sheyenne (or as she's affectionately know Shy shy). Shy is an incredible nanny and my daughter loves her so much. She's patient, gentle, creative, flexible, and punctual.  She handles constructive criticism with grace and has a great upbeat attitude. My daughter was lovingly nurtured by her and is transforming into a kind, patient (as much as 2.5 can be) and potty trained toddler! She was worth every penny of investment.  Shy has set the nanny bar so high I don't think we will ever find someone as special as her.

If I were to write a description of the ideal nanny to care for my kids, I would be describing Sheyenne. Shy (as the kids call her) is loving, fun, creative and 100% dependable. She takes her profession seriously and is truly invested in the well-being, happiness and development of the children for whom she cares. She is so experienced and talented at her job, that I've found myself seeking her advice for how to handle the usual toddler and child challenges that come up. My children adore her and are always excited to spend time with her. If you are lucky enough to hire Shy, she will become your new bar for what excellent childcare can be.

Sheyenne is a parent's dream come true. She is loving, kind, smart, patient, fun... really everything you could want in a caregiver for your kids. Shey has had her hands full with our crew (my sister-in-law and I share her - 2 two-year-olds, a 6-year-old, and an 8-year-old) but she manages them with ease, empathy, and grace. In her care, my son has learned his ABCs, the sound of each letter, his colors, and more! My daughter has become more self-aware of her emotions, willing to talk about them and to articulate what she's feeling more often. Shey even inspired her to create what my daughter calls "confidence badges", reminding her to be kind, be brave, etc. We all adore Sheyenne, kids and parents alike, and think any family in the position to hire her should consider themselves lucky to have her. She is truly one of a kind.

Sheyenne is a spectacular nanny!  Her positivity, patience, and spunk we're just the recipe for our energetic, strong-willed, and curious kids.  Not only is she great with kids, but a hardworking and loyal employee (although she feels more like a family friend).  Her attributes include:  
1) Major flexibility (my husband's schedule and mine at not easy to keep up with and she always rolled with whatever we threw her way)
2) Dependability (I always felt that our kids' best interests came first)
3). Independent initiative (she found a learning program, potty trained, and took the kids on wonderful outings of her own volition)

4) Structured discipline

I can not recommend Shy enough.  Your children will be blessed by her presence in your home.
